Please take a moment to honor these 13 men and women who gave their lives for our country on this day. Matthew Vidosh and Otto are walking today in appreciation and remembrance.
Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Gee was from Roseville CA. Our prayers go out to all their families with our sincere gratitude for their sacrifice.

There are so many others that have gone before them and this one hits close to home.
God Bless the USA.

Just a reminder that we will not have class at Railhead this Saturday, August 29th. We will be at Mel's Diner on Hwy 49 for their car show. Set up of the booth will start around 7:45, and take down will be between 1:00 and 2:00. We'll walk around as a class and do drills around 10:00ish. Please bring a ground blanket and water for your dog, and protective foot coverings in case the asphalt is warm. See you Saturday!

The following information has helped me understand a little better what a psychiatric service dog can do.

Qualifying Psychiatric Tasks That Meet ADA Standards
The ADA requires psychiatric service dogs to perform specific, trained tasks. These tasks must be directly related to the handler's disability and go beyond what an untrained dog might naturally do. Here are examples of qualifying psychiatric tasks:

Interruption Tasks: Dogs trained to interrupt nightmares, flashbacks, dissociative episodes, or self-harm behaviors through specific actions like nudging, pawing, or retrieving items. The dog must be trained to recognize specific symptoms and respond with consistent behaviors.

Alert Tasks: Dogs can be trained to alert to the onset of panic attacks, anxiety episodes, or other psychiatric symptoms before they become severe. This might include detecting changes in breathing, heart rate, or behavior patterns that precede episodes.

Retrieval Tasks: Fetching medication during psychiatric episodes, bringing phones during emergencies, or retrieving specific comfort items that help manage symptoms. The retrieval must be trained and on-command, not spontaneous behavior.

Room Searches: For individuals with PTSD or severe anxiety, dogs can be trained to systematically search rooms or spaces to help the handler feel secure in new environments.

Deep Pressure Therapy: Dogs trained to apply pressure to specific parts of the handler's body during panic attacks or anxiety episodes. This requires specific training in positioning and sustained pressure application.

Crowd Control: Creating physical barriers in crowded spaces, positioning between the handler and others, or finding exits in overwhelming situations.

The distinction from emotional support is critical. While emotional support animals provide therapeutic benefit through companionship, psychiatric service dogs perform specific trained tasks that mitigate disability-related limitations.
